“It started a good conversation about tips and restaurant
compensation,” Chung said. “We definitely feel there shouldn’t be
a separate system where tip workers rely on tips to subsidize
their wages ... Workers should be fully compensated.”

Rosenberg hasn't revealed how much his waitstaff are paid, but
his restaurant is no dive. A meal for two at Sushi Yasuda could
easily top $200 (Yelp gives it
four $ signs) — and potentially net a sizeable tip for a
friendly waiter or waitress. Hopefully, their new salary is
making up for the difference.
